He's just stopping by for some gumbo and a Sazerac cocktail or two. He'll be dirty bird'n it home in time for dinner.

All true what im hearing. Hes old . Stays hurt, but his name always gets called more than will smith.barring he has to make the team and he takes vet min. For a season . Let it roll and thats all he would be there for is a situation player.

Not a fan of this idea.

People act like he's been a beast for Atlanta... he's been there what 2 years and hasn't played a full season?
Also I'm sure sure why Drew's age always comes into play.... Like anyone here knows what he has left in the tank.

I don't like to come to the defense of a Falcons player (even though he's now a former Falcon), but this is not really an accurate assessment of Abraham.

He spent not 2, but 7 years in Atlanta. The only season he missed significant time was his first year with them in '06, when he played in just 8 games with 4 sacks.

After that:
'07- 16 games, 10 sacks.
'08- 16 games, 16.5 sacks.
'09- 16 games, 5.5 sacks.
'10- 15 games, 13 sacks.
'11- 15 games, 9.5 sacks.
'12- 16 games, 10 sacks... He also had 6 forced fumbles and 7 passes defensed this past season.

If he wants to sign a 1 year deal for at, or very close to the minimum, why not? Again, I don't think he would come that cheap, so we most likely can't afford him, but no one can tell me the guy isn't way better than anything we have, even at age 34. If he were just a couple years younger I would say definitely go get him. At this stage though, he's going to play out 1 year deals until he's done.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

I see a lot of people pointing out the obvious. He's old... This is true, but he's still three times the player that Will Smith is. For the league minimum, you bet I'd bring him in. But that won't happen, so I'll still pass.

Too much alternative cheaper much younger and hungrier talent in this year's draft and UDFA to even remotely consider this bag of bones.

I agree if you're talking long term. If we're talking about a 1 year stop gap, for the right price? He's a bit more than a bag of bones. It won't happen, but it's a better idea than restructuring Will Smith to play another lousy season for us. An idea which some amazingly think is actually a good one, for some reason.

He used to be a real stud but I'm not so sure about that anymore. I want to see a youth movement.

If Smith, Vilma and Harper are gone we need vet leadership. A one year maybe two year deal..........
